"What kind of people stage make-believe wars with armloads of Space Marines? A lot of the time, it’s real Marines. Games Workshop’s U.S.-based outreach manager estimates that 20 to 25 percent of Games Workshop’s American customers are active members of the military. If you include veterans, she says, that number jumps to about 40 percent."

Interesting to see that members of the military are still fans of tabletop wargaming, with all the modern tech available to them.

Kind of makes sense. Military (and ex-military) personnel enter that field because they enjoy something about it. Gaming is an extension of that enjoyment. There's (currently, still, yet) something fundamentally different about tabletop gaming and video gaming, and it figures that some people would prefer one over the other, or in addition to.

P.S. I wish somebody would make a game that centres around the legal profession. I'd be all over that.

Not quite like that. Not that I'd mind playing that game, either!

Maybe a Supreme Court wrestling game...
